Due to its extraordinary predictive power and the great generality
of its mathematical structure, quantum theory is able, at least in
principle, to describe all the microscopic and macroscopic
properties of the physical world, from the subatomic to the
cosmological level. Nevertheless, ever since the Copen hagen and
Gottingen schools in 1927 gave it the definitive formu lation, now
commonly known as the orthodox interpretation, the theory has
suffered from very serious logical and epistemologi cal problems.
These shortcomings were immediately pointed out by some of the
principal founders themselves of quantum theory, to wit, Planck,
Einstein, Ehrenfest, Schrodinger, and de Broglie, and by the
philosopher Karl Popper, who assumed a position of radical
criticism with regard to the standard formulation of the theory.
The aim of the participants in the workshop on Open Questions in
Quantum Physics, which was held in Bari (Italy), in the Department
of Physics of the University, during May 1983 and whose Proceedings
are collected in the present volume, accord ingly was to discuss
the formal, the physical and the epistemo logical difficulties of
quantum theory in the light of recent crucial developments and to
propose some possible resolutions of three basic conceptual
dilemmas, which are posed respectively ~: (a) the physical
developments of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen argument and Bell's
theorem, i. e.
